Definition of 'Air Pollutants'Any substance in the air which could, if present in high enough concentration, harm humans, animals, vegetation or material. Substances include GASES; PARTICULATE MATTER; and volatile ORGANIC CHEMICALS. Common names: Air Pollutants; Pollutants, Air; Air Pollutants, Environmental; Environmental Pollutants, Air; Air Environmental Pollutants; Pollutants, Air Environmental; Environmental Air Pollutants; Pollutants, Environmental Air |

In the European Union (EU)-funded project Respiratory Allergy and Inflammation due to Ambient Particles (RAIAP), coarse and fine ambient particulate matter (PM) was collected at traffic dominated locations in Oslo, Rome, Lodz, and Amsterdam, in the ... Read more...
30 Dec 2008 The relationships between ambient PM(2.5) and PM(10) and arrhythmia and the effect modification by cigarette smoking were investigated. Data from U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) air quality monitors and an established national-scale, ... Read more...
Associations between air pollution and peak expiratory flow among patients with persistent asthma.
30 Dec 2008 Responses of patients with persistent asthma to ambient air pollution may be different from those of general populations. For example, asthma medications may modify the effects of ambient air pollutants on peak expiratory flow (PEF). Few studies ... Read more...
